Phys.org / A new approach to building noise-resistant quantum sensors
Quantum sensors, devices that collect measurements by exploiting quantum-mechanical phenomena, could potentially detect extremely weak magnetic, gravitational and electromagnetic signals with greater sensitivity than classical ...
Phys.org / Children prefer fair punishment to unequal treatment, study finds
Consistent enforcement of rules is more important than the severity of the punishment itself, and children expect adults to treat every member of their group impartially and equally. Moreover, fair punishment brings emotional ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria may transform spinach, beets and plant iron into protective compounds
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that gut bacteria can convert dietary nitrate and iron into protective molecules that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The study, published ...
Phys.org / Dark Stars may have left gravitational-wave echoes across the universe
A mysterious background of extremely low-frequency gravitational waves detected by networks of pulsars may carry information about events that began more than 13 billion years ago—including the formation of some of the first ...
Medical Xpress / Intermittent fasting may help type 1 diabetics control their blood sugar levels
A UIC study led by kinesiology and nutrition professor Krista Varady found that time-restricted eating may be a safe, effective tool to control blood sugar in adults with type 1 diabetes. The work is published in the journal ...
Tech Xplore / Attention-grabbing virtual agents could help improve safety of self-driving cars
Animated "virtual agents" could help keep the roads of the future safer by alerting people behind the wheel of semiautonomous cars to oncoming hazards, new research suggests.
Phys.org / Ancient Jomon DNA reveals a hidden Ice Age survival genetic toolkit
Between 29,000 and 19,000 years ago, the planet experienced some of its coldest temperatures and drastic landscape changes at the peak of the Ice Age, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the period of most extensive global ...
Tech Xplore / Swarm-inspired AI may expose suspicious blockchain cash flows more effectively
An AI model inspired by ants, bees and birds could be key to cracking down on blockchain-based money laundering, new research led by Charles Darwin University (CDU) has found. The study is published in the journal Communications ...
Medical Xpress / Deep learning improves detection of changes in chronic sinus disease on CT scans
A deep-learning tool developed to analyze sinus CT scans may provide a more sensitive way to detect treatment-related changes in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, according to new research led in part ...
Phys.org / Unusual superconductivity could emerge in valley-imbalanced rhombohedral graphene
Superconductors are materials in which electrical current flows with a resistance of zero, typically below specific temperatures. In conventional superconductors, this state of matter emerges when two electrons bind together ...
Tech Xplore / Miniature digger arm could significantly slash excavator training time
Anyone who's ever wrestled with a claw machine at an arcade can appreciate the difficulty of pulling and pushing joysticks in just the right way to get a mechanical arm to scoop up that one special toy. Coordinating the joysticks ...
Medical Xpress / A single application of anti-mosquito coating reduces the long-term risk of dengue
A single application to water containers can significantly reduce yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) populations—and thus the spread of dengue fever—for many months. Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine at the University ...
